From what I have read, to be a fornicator in Puritan times was to have consensual sex with someone who is not your spouse. If the other person was married, it constituted adultery. Here is a really interesting article about Colonial Crimes and Punishments. We know Hannah lived to be at least 24 years of age because she is included in her father's will when he died in 1676. I haven't seen any other records. I've looked, too. I was hoping to find she got married and had a family, maybe even with her paramour. If there was an illegitimate child as a result of their crime, the man was compelled to pay child support. Since there is no record indicating who the man was, or that Hannah Button had a child, I assume they went their own ways.

Death of a brother	Daniel Button September 18, 1675 (aged 23 years) South Deerfield, Franklin, Massachusetts, USA Cause: Prince Philip War Source: A History of Deerfield, Massachusetts Citation details: Page 108 Text: List of Lothrop's Company killed at Bloody Brook includes Daniel Button of Newberry. Source: Mayflower. A Story of Courage, Community and War Citation details: Chapter Fourteen, "The God of Armies" Text: Captain Thomas Lathrop, sixty-five, was escorting seventy-nine evacuees from the town of Deerfield. They were about to ford a small stream when several of the soldiers laid their guns aside to gather some ripe autumn grapes. At that moment, hundreds of Indians burst out of the undergrowth. Fifty-seven English were killed, turning the brown waters of what was known as Muddy Brook bright red with gore. From then on, the stream was called Bloody Brook. For the Indians, it was an astonishingly easy triumph. "[T]he heathen were wonderfully animated," Increase Mather wrote, "some of them triumphing and saying, that so great a slaughter was never known, and indeed in their wars one with another, the like hath rarely been heard of." But the fighting was not over yet.
Death	1676 (aged 23 years) Note: She was included in her father's will so must have been alive when he died in 1676.

Legal	Miss Hannah Button was "presented for fornication" on 11 May 1672. Fornication was only considered a misdemeanor and not a felony. From what I have read, to be a fornicator in Puritan times was to have consensual sex with someone who is not your spouse. If the other person was married, it constituted adultery. Here is a really interesting article about Colonial Crimes and Punishments. We know Hannah lived to be at least 24 years of age because she is included in her father's will when he died in 1676. I haven't seen any other records. I've looked, too. I was hoping to find she got married and had a family, maybe even with her paramour. If there was an illegitimate child as a result of their crime, the man was compelled to pay child support. Since there is no record indicating who the man was, or that Hannah Button had a child, I assume they went their own ways.
Death	She was included in her father's will so must have been alive when he died in 1676.
